Mangiferin prevents cardiomyocyte apoptosis and subsequent heart failure in myocardial infarction by activating the Sirt1/FoxO3a pathway, showing potential in future clinical evaluation studies.
Myocardial infarction (MI) commonly leads to cardiomyocyte apoptosis and heart failure. Mangiferin is a natural glucosylxanthone extracted from mango fruits and leaves, which has anti-apoptotic and anti-inflammatory properties in experimental cardiovascular diseases. In the present study, we investigated the role and detailed mechanism of mangiferin in MI. We used ligation of the left anterior descending coronary artery to establish an MI model in vivo, and cardiomyocyte-specific Sirt1 knockout mice were used to identify the mechanism of mangiferin. For in vitro studies, oxygen and glucose deprivation (OGD) was used to mimic ischaemia in H9c2 cardiomyocytes. In mice, mangiferin treatment increased Sirt1 expression after MI, significantly reduced the infarct area, and prevented MI-induced apoptosis and heart failure. Mangiferin reduced OGD-induced cellular apoptosis in H9c2 cells. Meanwhile, Sirt1 knockout/silencing abolished the protective effects of mangiferin. Further studies revealed that mangiferin increased FoxO3a deacetylation by up-regulating Sirt1, thus preventing apoptosis, and adenovirus-mediated constitutive acetylation of FoxO3a restricted the anti-apoptotic effects of mangiferin in vivo and in vitro. Our results indicate that mangiferin prevents cardiomyocyte apoptosis and the subsequent heart failure by activating the Sirt1/FoxO3a pathway in MI, and suggest that mangiferin may have an interesting potential in following studies towards clinical evaluation.
